Jodi, please change your post to show the book that you read (294 pgs). If you click on "add book/author" and pick the version that you read. Thanks.

I listened to the audio version which is what I linked. In other games, they just wanted to know how many pages were in the most popular edition so that’s why I added a page number. Unless I am on pc, I can’t add or chose book for my post, I can only copy link to the book.

Ok, thanks, Jodi.

Yay, you've completed Task 1! Please make sure you are using the GR Kindle first edition page count for your books - 3 of the 4 of you had the wrong page count. I am asking that you correct those, but no need to repost. I am not going to require anything before you move on as the page count did not affect your completion for this task, but it could for others! So, please make that effort going forward. 😊

Here is Task 2:

50. Read 6 books that have won/been nominated for an award.

These books need to show the award or nomination in the GR book details on the main book page. You can also use lists to qualify, but if it shows on the book page that is the easiest for all of us!

Task 2:

I’m going to start with...

[bookcover:Walking Disaster|16044131]

Won Goodreads award for romance 2013

This means 2 of us need to read 2 books. Please make sure that you are posting the GR Kindle First Edition when you've completed your book.

Paladin by Angela Knight

🚴Qualifications: Paladin
(Graven Gods #1)

Is there a difference better a series and a duet? If there are only 2 books could #1 count as first in series?

I think as long as there is more than one book, it is considered a series, but I'll check to make sure.

Received an answer. Yes, a duet counts as a series.

I've posted our completion for Task #3

Well done! Here is Task 4:

58. Read a minimum of 750 pages in books published in any one year prior to 2018, team picks the year.

You will be using the initial publication date as your qualification. Make sure you choose a year before 2018 and use the Kindle edition page count.

Ladies, what year would you like? Any is fine with me. I have so many books to read that I'm sure I can find one. How about 2017?

2017 works. Is it all of our pages added together to meet the 750 pages or do we all have to read the 750?

Jodi wrote: "2017 works. Is it all of our pages added together to meet the 750 pages or do we all have to read the 750?"

It's all of the pages together. So as we select our books, I'll keep a running total. If we each can read one around 200 pgs, we'll have it covered.

Does it have to be originally published in that year? Like do we have to use the first published edition date same as page count or do other editions work for the year?

Nevemind lol, the book I have set for next anyways was published in 2017 so no worries!! I’ll do my selection post now ☺️
